72 Hour Emergency Kit

NOTES:

•72 Hour Kits are designed to give you enough time to get things figured out or to help you as you get to a different destination. Camping skills are very useful. Get a Boy Scout Handbook to learn some of these.•Update your kit every six months (put a note in your calendar/planner) to make sure that: all food, water, and medication are fresh (not expired), clothing fits, personal documents and credit cards are up to date, and batteries are charged.•Small toys/games are important too as they will provide some comfort and entertainment during a stressful time.•Older children can be responsible for their own pack of items/clothes too.•You can include any other items you feel are necessary for your family’s survival.•Some items and/or flavors might leak, melt, “flavor” other items, or break open. Dividing groups of items into individual Ziploc bags might help prevent this.

FOOD AND WATER

(3 day supply of food & water per person when no refrigeration/cooking is available)
